tip-cabletv-dive---Go for the middle ground

Go for the middle ground. If you have an analog TV and subscribe to cable, try ditching the cable and converting to digital via a converter box. You will get better reception like cable and more channels than you would with a regular antenna. This will allow you to keep watching broadcast TV after February 17, 2009 when they will switch to digital. A converter box costs $60 but you can get $40 coupons from the government at this site: <a href="https://www.dtv2009.gov/" target="_blank">https://www.dtv2009.gov/</a>. Coupons may be requested until March 31, 2009.
